GOOD READ

Vulture talks with music legend Quincy Jones.

"He name-drops, he scolds, he praises, and he tells (and retells) stories about his very famous friends. Even when his words are harsh, he says them with an enveloping charm, frequently leaning over for fist bumps and to tap me on the knee. 'The experiences I’ve had!' he says, shaking his head in wonder. 'You almost can’t believe it.'"

Thanks for listening!
